clay bar's just gonna remove contaminent, carnuba based wax will last MAYBE a month in a standard
northeast winter...id suggest a synth, with a monthly wax topper during winter months, but the wax/syn aint gonna protect against scratching from salt/road grime

no no...
you want to use a synth wax, like a polymer or acrylic (zaino, klasse, etc.) to get the durability and shine, and top that with your favorite carnuba wax to get the depth...
edit: synth (polymer/acrylics) last roughly 4-6 months depending, carnuba wax 1-3 months depending...

BTW, I think 24.75 is too low... I suggest 25 all around
perfit mix of drivability and preload... what folks dont realize, it the lower the system is setup, the softer it gets...
